This study evaluates the effectiveness of program VAMOS (Active Life Improving Health) based on the perception of the Health Academy Program (PAS) users in Belo Horizonte. A qualitative study was conducted with participants of a randomized clinical trial in two PAS units. The IG (Intervention Group) participated in PAS activities and a behavioral change program (VAMOS) for 12 weeks. Effectiveness was evaluated through reports on three focus groups with 32 IG participants (aged 61 ± 7.07) using the script based on the dimensions of the RE-AIM framework. Through content analysis, benefits were identified in four categories: physical activity, food intake, body weight, and quality of life. Participants’ perception reflected benefits in the program markers. Therefore, the methodology used proved to be effective in achieving the VAMOS goals.
